Introduction toProgramming in .NET 6. Learning Objectives
OverviewLecturer: Jareed Eve;6 What is .NET Version History Design
Features .NET Languages 7. What is .NETLecturer: Jareed Eve;7 The
.NET Framework is a software frameworkdeveloped by Microsoft
Programs written for the .NET Frameworkexecute in a software
environment, known as theCommon Language Runtime (CLR) CRL - An
application virtual machine that providesservices such as security,
memory management,and exception handling. The class library and the
CLR together constitutethe .NET Framework. 8. The .NET Framework is
an environment forbuilding, deploying, and running Mobile,
Desktop,Web Applications and Web Services. Microsofts first server
technology ASP (ActiveServer Pages), was a powerful and
flexible"programming language". But it was too codeoriented. It was
not an application framework andnot an enterprise development tool.
The Microsoft .NET Framework was developed tosolve this problem.MS
.NET Framework 9. .NET Frameworks Advantages: Easier and quicker
programming Reduced amount of code Declarative programming model
Richer server control hierarchy with events Larger class library
Better support for development toolsMS .NET Framework 10. Version
History 1Lecturer: Jareed Eve;10 Microsoft started development of
the .NETFramework in the late 1990s (Next GenerationWindows
Services (NGWS)). The first beta versions of .NET 1.0 were
releasedin 2000. Version 3.0 of the .NET Framework is includedwith
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista. Version 3.5 is included with
Windows 7 andWindows Server 2008 R2, and can also beinstalled on
Windows XP and Windows Server2003.[2] On 12 April 2010, .NET
Framework 4 wasreleased alongside Visual Studio 2010. 11. Version

Language independence Base Class Library Security Simplified
Deployment Portability 13. Design Features:
InteroperabilityLecturer: Jareed Eve;13 Ability of a system to work
with or use the parts ofanother system Because computer systems
commonly requireinteraction between newer and older
applications,the .NET Framework provides means to
accessfunctionality implemented in newer and olderprograms that
execute outside the .NETenvironment. 14. Design Features: CLR
EngineLecturer: Jareed Eve;14 It provides many services such as
Automatic garbage collection Code access security Simplified
versioning Simple and reliable deployment Deep cross-language
interoperability Debugging across different languages Performance
Scalability 15. Design Features: LanguageIndependenceLecturer:
Jareed Eve;15 It is possible to use .NET from manyprogramming
languages because they have allagreed on some standards. The Common
Type System or CTS is aspecification that defines the different
data typesand programming constructs. Regardless of where languages
come from orwhy people choose them, the .NET framework isa feature
rich library that helps with the rapiddevelopment of computer
systems. 16. Design Features: Base Class LibraryLecturer: Jareed
Eve;16 A library of functionality available to all languagesusing
the .NET Framework. The BCL provides classes for common functions
File reading and writing, Graphic rendering, Database interaction,
XML document manipulation, etc. It consists of classes, interfaces
of reusable typesthat integrates with CLR(CommonLanguage Runtime).
17. Design Features: SimplifiedDeploymentLecturer: Jareed Eve;17
The .NET Framework includes design featuresand tools which help
manage the installation ofcomputer software It ensures that it does
not interfere with previouslyinstalled software It conforms to
security requirements. 18. Design Features: SecurityLecturer:
Jareed Eve;18 The design addresses some of the vulnerabilities
Example: buffer overflows, which have beenexploited by malicious
software. .NET provides a common security model for allapplications
19. Design Features: PortabilityLecturer: Jareed Eve;19 The
framework was designed to be platform-agnostic, and cross-platform
implementations areavailable for other operating systems. Microsoft
submitted the specifications for theCommon Language Infrastructure,
the C#language, and the C++/CLI language to bothECMA and the ISO,
making them available asofficial standards. This makes it possible
for third partiesto create compatible implementations ofthe
framework and its languages on otherplatforms. 20. .NET
